CLINTON GEORGE SCHRADER
A year ago, I was a dream, a hope, a wish. Yet with the passing of time I became a reality. I was welcomed into this world on October 11, 1990 at the Clarinda Municipal Hospital. There was a lot of joy over my arrival, especially by my mom, Renee, my dad, Shane, and my big brother Taylor. They named me Clinton George Schrader.
Soon after, I was introduced to other family members and we shared many happy moments together. I also met my grandparents, Larry and Bonnie Schrader from Lenox, and C. Horton and Bette Lee from Bedford. I even had great grandparents, Don and Mineva Tully and Mrs. Alma Schrader of Lenox and Mrs. Eulalia Short of Bedford. It seemed those first days of my life were so exciting. I came to discover I had six aunts and seven uncles and 13 cousins. Wow! What a big family.
I was able to enjoy a Thanksgiving with my family and my first Christmas.
On January 3, 1991 I died at Clarinda Municipal Hospital. I want you to know I have gone to join my grandfather Lowell Duane Hill and my great grandparents, Clinton and Iva Hill, George Schrader and Clifford Short in that life beyond this world. As you know, I was named after Clinton and George.
I know my death has left great sadness of heart to all my family who were so excited to see me. I will miss you. You will miss me. Love, Clinton George Schrader.
ŇA service of death and resurrection" was held in honor of Clinton on Sunday, January 6 at the Shum-Novinger Funeral Home. Rev. Paul Grandon and Rev. Paul Shultz officiated. Burial was at Lenox.

COMMUNITY SHOCKED BY WM. JACKSON'S DEATH
Noted Attorney Died In St. Joseph Hospital Week Ago Today.
Southwestern Iowa and more especially Bedford and the immediate community was deeply shocked in learning of the death of Attorney William Jackson, which occurred so unexpectedly at a St. Joseph hospital a week ago today, September 1, 1921. Death came about 5 o'clock the afternoon of September 1, after two attempts under ether had been made to set his dislocated right shoulder.
Two weeks ago today, deceased and his wife and son Floyd and wife drove to Des Moines to attend the state fair in the latter's car. On the trip Mr. Jackson complained of not feeling well and upon reaching the home of his sister, Mrs. Roxie Cless, where they were to be guests during their stay in Des Moines, he went to bed. The following afternoon, while the rest of the family were preparing to go to the home of Judge Miller for 6 o'clock dinner, a disturbance was heard upstairs and investigation showed that Attorney Jackson had fallen on the polished hard wood floor while on his way to the bathroom. He was unconscious and a doctor was called immediately. The doctor's administrations brought a speedy recovery and while Mr. Jackson was advised to remain quiet for a time, there was no occasion for alarm apparently. He was confined to the house Saturday, and Sunday expressed a desire to return home with Floyd and wife, feeing able in his own mind to make the trip, but his son Floyd and other members of his family prevailed on him to not try it then, but rather wait until the following day and come to Blockton on the train. This he did and Floyd met his father and mother Monday afternoon at Blockton. While Attorney Jackson was still not feeling the best, he made the trip here in the car. A swelling in his right shoulder was troubling him so a local doctor was called and the discovery made that the shoulder was out of place. The condition of the dislocation made it impossible to keep it in place after setting so it was thought best to take, the patient to St. Joseph. The trip was made Wednesday overland in a car, and Mr. Jackson submitted to the anesthetic twice that evening.
His condition was serious after the attempts to set the shoulder there, and Floyd was called Thursday morning and left that afternoon, reaching the hospital an hour or more after his father had passed away.
The body was returned to Bedford Friday and funeral services held Sunday. Rev. Gable of the M. E. church officiated, assisted by members of the Taylor County Bar Association, members of the Masonic and K. P. lodges. The three judges of this district were here, Judge Fuller, Judge Evans and Judge Winter. The first two named gave brief addresses at the funeral services.
Following is the obituary as read by Rev. Gable:
William M. Jackson, son of Philip and Rachel [Wiley] Jackson was born in Caldwell, Ohio, November 27th, 1866. He came with his parents to Iowa in 1885, and lived on a farm for two or three years, a part of the time being engaged as a teacher in the public schools.
Having decided upon his life work he entered the law school at the University of Iowa, from which he graduated in 1891.
Dec. 25th, 1889, he was united in marriage to Addie M. Van Winkle and to this union two children were born, Ethel May and Floyd O. [ra], but the wife and little daughter both passed away in May of the year 1893.
He practiced law in Clearfield and then moved to Bedford and went into partnership with W. E. Miller, son of Dr. Emory Miller, one of the noted men of Des Moines Conference.
He was united in marriage to Nettie Nelson May 26th, 1896, and one child was born to them, but it died in infancy.
He was elected County Attorney for two terms and then later went into partnership with J. P. Flick, and after this partnership was dissolved he practiced by himself until the year 1920 when he took his son Floyd into partnership.
He leaves besides his wife and son Floyd, one sister, Mrs. Roxa J. [Anne] Cless, and four nephews, Philip [Henry], Roderick and Raymond Cless and Paul Jackson, son of D.[avid] Fay Jackson now deceased.

A Prominent Attorney Answers Last Summons
Dies Suddenly in a St. Joseph Hospital After a Brief Illness. Laid to Rest Sunday by the Legal Fraternity and Lodges. A Great Loss to the Entire Community
Last Thursday evening the news was flashed over the city that William M. Jackson, one of our leading attorneys and legal lights of this section of Iowa had passed away at a hospital in St. Joseph. The news was so startling and sudden that the people here could hardly realize it, for Mr. Jackson had not been ailing long. The brief summary and the cause of his death is briefly explained. He had been in Des Moines the first of the week attending to legal matters and visiting his sister, and while at her home slipped and fell, sustaining a fractured shoulder. The broken fracture was attended to immediately and he was returned to Bedford, where internal troubles set in as a result of the fall, and he was rushed to the hospital at St. Joseph for treatment. But his iron will and constitution had seemingly given away and medical aid was of no avail and he passed quietly away at 5:30, o'clock Thursday evening.
The body was brought to his home here Friday evening and funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the residence. Rev. Gable of the M. E. church read a brief obituary of the dead man's life, and then introduced Hon. H. K. Evans and Hon. Homer A. Fuller, two of the presiding judges of this district, who in brief addresses eulogized the departed in glowing terms, stating that his ability as a lawyer and counselor would be sadly missed in this community for years to come.
The last sad rites for the departed were in charge of the Taylor County Bar Association and assisted by the Masonic and K of P. lodges, of which he was an honored member, and the body was laid to rest in the Bedford cemetery beside the body of an infant daughter who passed away after a few brief days of existence.
The deceased leaves to mourn his demise, a wife and son Floyd, both residing here, and a sister, Mrs. Cless [Roxa Anne] of Des Moines, and the sympathy of the Times-Republican is extended to them in their deep affliction and loss. A large concourse of friends followed the body to its last resting place, and all that remained mortal of the late Mr. Jackson was consigned to Mother Nature and His maker.
William M. Jackson, one of the leading attorneys of southern Iowa, and who had practiced for about 28 years in Bedford, was born at Caldwell, Ohio, on the 27th of November 1866. His parents were Philip and Rachel (Wiley) Jackson, who were also natives of the Buckeye state. The first representatives of the family in this country came from Wales with Lord Baltimore, and settled in Maryland, whence they afterward removed to Green county, Pennsylvania, and subsequently went to Ohio.
William M. Jackson remained on his father's farm in Ohio until seventeen years of age and obtained his preliminary education in the district schools. Subsequently he entered the Western Normal College at Shenandoah, Iowa. After completing the course in that institution he took up the study of law in the State University at Iowa City, being graduated from the law department in 1891. He was admitted to the bar the same year and located for practice at Clearfield, Iowa, where he remained for a little more than a year. He then came to Bedford and has here since practiced his profession, enjoying a constantly growing and remunerative clientage.
Mr. Jackson was married twice. In 1891 he was joined in wedlock to Miss Addie Van Winkle, a daughter of Josiah and Melinda (Blackman) Van Winkle, by whom he had one son, Floyd O. [ra], who still survives, and at the time of his father's death was associated with him in the law business, the firm name being Jackson & Jackson. The mother passed away in May 1898, when but twenty-two years of age. In June 1897, Mr. Jackson was again married, his second union being with Miss Nettie Nelson, a daughter of Samuel [Nathan Havens] and Sarah [Tripp] Nelson, who survives him.
In his political views Mr. Jackson was a staunch republican. In 1892 he was elected to the office of county attorney and capably discharged the duties devolving upon him in this connection for two terms. Three years ago he was a candidate for District Judge and made a strong race in the primary but was defeated by a small margin. Fraternally he was identified with Taylor Lodge, No. 156, A. F. & A. M.; Triangle Chapter, No. 68, R. A. M.; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks at Creston and Bedford Lodge, No. 101, Knights of Pythias. His religious faith was indicated by his membership in the Methodist church. His ability as a lawyer was widely recognized.
His death occurred at the hospital in St. Joseph, Mo., Thursday, evening, Sept. 1st, 1921, at 5:30 o'clock, at the age of 54 years, 2 months and twenty-six days.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Dr. E. Fay Jackson Passes Away at His Home in Garden Grove.
Last Thursday morning Rev. Phillip Jackson received a telegram informing him of the death of his son, Dr. D. [avid] Fay Jackson at his home in Garden Grove, Decatur County. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and their daughter Roxa, and County Attorney Jackson, left immediately for Garden Grove. Dr. Jackson some months ago became inflicted with rheumatism, which brought about a complication of diseases that terminated in dropsy of the heart. On Wednesday he became suddenly ill while attending a patient and soon after returning home another physician was called, but the disease was one with which medical aid was unable to cope and he soon passed away.

The Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member, had charge of the funeral services, the body being laid to rest in the Clearfield cemetery. The deceased was 27 years of age and leaves a wife and one little child. The latter will be provided for as the Doctor carried $3,500 life insurance.
Dr. Jackson spent two years in study in the State University at Iowa City, and afterwards graduated from the Louisville Medical College. About two years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Walker, of Iowa City.
